love this station... it's been my favorite for many years... best music in Grand Rapids..... I just recently picked up the app... I'm guessing it's really good to have when you're kind of on the go... personally for me the station has been an eye-opener to a lot of the great new music that's coming out... just in the past couple of years I learned about bands that I never knew about and I learned about them by listening to terrestrial radio so it was kind of like wow who was that, so it's great.

This app is stupid, they don't even tell you where to go to enter any of the "be the blank caller" to win tickets. I don't recommend downloading this if you plan on trying to win anything seems like a major scam.
